The city

In Lleida you will discover a different way of enjoying yourself doing leisure activities, going to cultural events, shopping and tasting local dishes. Above all, you will find many experiences in Lleida to thrill you.

Lleida is the capital city of Segrià region and the province that takes its name. It is the most important population and economic inland centre in Catalonia. Its economy is based on the agri-food sector, as well as on all kinds of services.

Shopping, with a strong, deeply rooted tradition in the city, spreads its influence over Segrià and neighbouring regions. The newly opened, high-quality cultural facilities, like the new University Campus, have given the city's cultural life an extraordinary boost. Lleida is a modern city which is culturally active, well communicated and situated in a unique natural environment.

Lleida has the privilege of being provided with natural areas as important as La Mitjana nature park -an ecosystem of great natural and ecological value- the River Segre park and Camps Elisis, apart from the so-called Horta (irrigated area), the green belt that surrounds the city. This natural legacy has made Lleida grow, following environmental and quality values within the framework of a sustainable city.
